Tim Hjersted is the director of Films For Action, a non-profit group that uses the power of film to raise awareness on issues not covered by the mainstream media. Based in Lawrence, KS, the group screens documentaries at a local independent theater, airs films on Public Access TV, and provides their collection of over 60 films to the public for free. The FilmsForAction.org website serves as a portal to the best activist-issue videos found online.
